Abstract: On March 16, 1934,
President Roosevelt signed the
Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (16
U.S.C. 718a et seq.) requiring all
migratory waterfowl hunters 16 years of
age or older to buy a Federal migratory
bird hunting and conservation stamp
(Federal Duck Stamp) annually. The
stamps are a vital tool for wetland
conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of
every dollar generated by the sale of
Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to
purchase or lease wetland habitat for
protection in the National Wildlife
Refuge System. The Federal Duck Stamp
is one of the most successful
conservation programs ever initiated
and is a highly effective way to conserve
America’s natural resources. Besides
serving as a hunting license and a
conservation tool, a current year’s
Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an
entrance pass for national wildlife
refuges where admission is charged.
Duck Stamps and products that bear
stamp images are also popular collector
items.
The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of
2005 (Pub. L. 109–266) required the
Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 3year pilot program under which States
could issue electronic Federal Duck
Stamps. The electronic stamp is valid
for 45 days from the date of purchase
and can be used immediately while
customers wait to receive the actual
stamp in the mail. After 45 days,
customers must carry the actual Federal
Duck Stamp while hunting or to gain
free access to national wildlife refuges.
Eight States participated in the pilot. At
the end of the pilot, we provided a
report to Congress outlining the
successes of the program. The program
improved public participation by
increasing the ability of the public to
obtain required Federal Duck Stamps.

Under our authorities in 16 U.S.C.
718b(a)(2), we have continued the
Electronic Duck Stamp Program in the
eight States that participated in the
pilot. We plan to expand the program by
inviting all State fish and wildlife
agencies to participate. Anyone,
regardless of State residence, may
purchase an electronic Duck Stamp
through any State that participates in
the program. Interested States must
submit an application (FWS Form 3–
2341). We will use the information
provided in the application to
determine a State’s eligibility to
participate in the program. Information
includes, but is not limited to:
• Information verifying the current
systems the State uses to sell hunting,
fishing, and other associated licenses
and products.
• Applicable State laws, regulations,
or policies that authorize the use of
electronic systems to issue licenses.
• Example and explanation of the
codes the State proposes to use to create
and endorse the unique identifier for the
individual to whom each stamp is
issued.
• Mockup copy of the printed version
of the State’s proposed electronic stamp,
including a description of the format
and identifying features of the licensee
to be specified on the stamp.
• Description of any fee the State will
charge for issuance of an electronic
stamp.
• Description of the process the State
will use to account for and transfer the
amounts collected by the State that are
required to be transferred under the
program.
• Manner by which the State will
transmit electronic stamp customer
data.
Each State approved to participate in
the program must provide the following
information on a weekly basis:

PO 00000

• First name, last name, and complete
mailing address of each individual that
purchases an electronic stamp from the
State.
• Face value amount of each
electronic stamp sold by the State.
• Amount of the Federal portion of
any fee required by the agreement for
each stamp sold.
Comments: On February 13, 2013, we
published in the Federal Register (78
FR 10201) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on April 15, 2013. We
received one comment. The commenter
objected to the Duck Stamp Program,
but did not address the information
collection requirements. We did not
make any changes based on this
comment.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,

information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Big Muddy National Fish
and Wildlife Refuge, which we began by
publishing a notice of intent in the
Federal Register (72 FR 27587) on May
16, 2007. For more about the initial
process and the history of this refuge,
see that notice.
Background
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act),
requires us to develop a CCP for each
national wildlife refuge. The purpose in
developing a CCP is to provide refuge
managers with a 15-year strategy for
achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS), consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and Service policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation and photography,
and environmental education and
interpretation. We will review and
update the CCP at least every 15 years
in accordance with the Administration
Act.
Each unit of the NWRS was
established for specific purposes. We
use these purposes as the foundation for
developing and prioritizing the
management goals and objectives for
each refuge within the NWRS mission,
and to determine how the public can
use each refuge. The planning process is
a way for us and the public to evaluate
management goals and objectives that
will ensure the best possible approach
to wildlife, plant, and habitat
conservation, while providing for
wildlife-dependent recreation
opportunities that are compatible with
each refuge’s establishing purposes and
the mission of the NWRS.
Additional Information

detailed information about the planning
process, refuge, issues, and management
alternatives considered and proposed,

Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
